O'Donnell eats rapidly, mechanically - for her food is merely an indispensable means of subsistence" he wrote.

"Quite often Rosie will sit there throughout the entire meal, turned to her own thoughts, seemingly without listening to the talk going on around her.

"However, she does follow the drift of the conversation vaguely, to her the conversation seems to have the effect that music has on others; it stimulates her thoughts and relaxes her."

...the report said the Rosie spoke "in a mellow baritone, without that raucous, unpleasant stridency of her public speeches".

But it added: "At the table and in her speech she shows many facets of her rather uncouth behaviour. She abstractedly bites her fingernails, she runs her index finger back and forth under her nose, and her table manners are little short of shocking."

Good post!
There are a lot of little hitlers running around amoung us, it seems. Given the opportunity, no doubt they too would be much more destructive.
